After the great successes at the sold-out Kiel Opera House and the Metropol Theater in Bremen, the entire Low German scene meets this time in Hamburg and shows what Low German has to offer (and that it is more than just »döntjes« in rubber boots) in a grand gala.

»Every music has its heaven«, Verdi once said. His music was created under the clear skies of »Bella Italia«. Verdi’s music arouses strong emotions, but always remains genuine and true – and beautiful, as beautiful as the sky over Italy. There is a »very special« hit in many of Verdi’s operas. The world-famous »Prisoners’ Chorus« from Nabucco or »Preghiera di Desdemona« (Ave Maria) or »Ella giammai m’amò«. They are among the most moving pieces that European music has ever produced. NABUCCO, LA TRAVIATA, RIGOLETTO, IL TROVATORE and AIDA are masterpieces from the first to the last bar. With his soft, full timbre, Italy’s star tenor Cristian Lanza, Silvia Rampazzo and baritone Giulio Boschetti as well as the choir and orchestra of the Milano Festival Opera present the very best of Verdi’s magnificent arias, duets and choruses. With great talent and even more feeling, Cristian Lanza knows how to give his voice wings. The Italian tenor, born in Rome, has been one of the greats of the scene for some time now. His grandfather continues to be a source of inspiration for him. Born in Italy, he is the grandson of the world-famous singer Mario Lanza. But he has long since ventured out of his grandfather’s slipstream. Cristian Lanza’s lyric tenor has a softer and fuller timbre than that of his grandfather. He not only has the high notes that are expected in tenor arias, but also enchants and touches his listeners with his soulful voice.
Giuseppe Verdi Chor Hamburg
This evening is dedicated to two outstanding Romantic composers: Johannes Brahms and Robert Schumann. When the young Brahms introduced himself to the Schumanns in Düsseldorf, it marked the beginning of an intense friendship. Schumann, impressed by Brahms' talent, published an article praising him as a "strong warrior" whose piano sonatas were already "veiled symphonies." Brahms, like Schumann, initially composed exclusively for piano before exploring other genres. Schumann's Piano Concerto in A minor dissolved the typical classical concerto's solo-ensemble opposition, interweaving piano and orchestra. Brahms' Symphony No. 2, a cheerful counterpart to his weighty first, features soft horns, elegant strings, and a pastoral character, incorporating folk song elements characteristic of German Romanticism. The lyrical side theme of the first movement even quotes his lullaby, "Guten Abend, Gute Nacht."
The Familienkonzert invites music lovers of all ages to experience the thrill of classical music. Led by Boian Videnoff, children discover how music conveys emotions and learn about orchestral instruments. This interactive journey into the world of classical music allows children to participate and explore the art form.
Alain Altinoglu continues his Brahms cycle with the 3rd Symphony, aiming for a fresh, agile sound. This sunny symphony is paired with Brahms-Haydn connections, featuring award-winning hr solo trumpeter Sebastian Berner performing Haydn's Trumpet Concerto. Altinoglu emphasizes transparency over opulence in Brahms's "symphonic forest idyll." Brahms's "Variations on a Theme by Haydn" complements the program, although the theme's origin is debated.
